66′ CODY WALKER WITH A GIFT!

Souths push towards the line.

Cody Walker takes the ball and looks to grubber it through.

There are Newcastle players there who manage to block that grubber, the ball spinning around at Walker’s feet.

So he picks it up, spins around, and scoots over untouched.

This game isn’t even close to being over yet.

The kick is good, it’s 32-36!

65′ Newcastle drop the ball!

Newcastle are trying to move the ball all the time here – moving the ball to the right side.

Dylan Brown took the ball to the line and flicked the ball out the back, but Dane Gagai can’t hold onto it.

If he had, he would have run 60 metres to score.

As he didn’t, Newcastle has to defend 40 metres out.

63′ Marzhew crashes over!

Newcastle earn a six again as they run at Souths – Ponga at the heart of everything.

The Knights move the ball to the left side where Greg Marzhew gets the ball and tears towards the line.

Souths have players there, two of them on the line and two more covering across – and Marzhew crashes over all of them to score in the corner.

What a finish. All power.

Ponga bends the conversion back AND SCORES! Magical!

Newcastle push the lead out to 10 points, leading 36-26.

61′ Souths error!

Oh, Hubner passes the ball straight into the side of Cam Murray and that costs Souths the chance to go deep into the Knights half.

Another error on half way – can Newcastle arrest the slide they’re currently on?

58′ TRY SOUTHS!(Getty Images)

The Rabbitohs move the ball to the left side – Newcastle are never going to have enough bodies there, with Dom Young coming in to make a last-ditch attempt to disrupt Latrell Mitchell.

But he can’t do so, Mitchell cooly passing the ball on and Alex Johnston scores in the corner.

So simple.

Mitchell smashes the kick an absolute mile wide of the posts to keep it 26-30.

57′ Penalty Souths!

A towering bomb was dealt with by Kalyn Ponga.

But Greg Marzhew shepherded the chasers out the way – only subtly, but enough.

It’s a poor mistake from Greg Marzhew, who is not happy about it.

Neither are the crowd.

55′ SOUTHS SCORE ANOTHER!

Perfect from Souths, a lovely kick from Walker – easily gathered by Tallis Duncan who charges onto the grubber and scores.

The score is 30-22 and the home crowd may well be starting to get a little bit nervous.

54′ Penalty Souths!

Shoulder charge from Jermaine McEwen as Souths moved the ball to the right side.

Newcastle will have to defend another set inside their own 10.

52′ Dom Young drops the ball inside his own 30!

Oh my, a real case of the dropsies there.

Dominic Young drops it as the Knights shift the ball to the right side.

A huge opportunity for the Rabbitohs here.

51′ Walker loses the ball!

Oh he’s not having a great afternoon to be honest.

Cody Walker drops the ball cold as Souths move the ball within the Knights’ 10.

50′ Big error by Brown

Dylan Brown throws a shocking pass at the back to put Newcastle under immense pressure deep inside their own 20.

He was looking for Ponga. Perhaps he needs to get some glasses…

He holds his head in his hands in disappointment.

To make matters worse, he’s on report for an earlier dangerous tackle too.

48′ Knights take two points

The Knights opt to extend the lead out to 14 points – an interesting decision.

He slots it, but I’d have expected the Knights to look for a try there given the match situation.

47′ BRILLIANT BREAK FROM BEST!

Bradman Best with a step – a fend and then a 60-metre run up field.

Souths are on the back foot and are struggling to get back.

But a Ponga pass goes to ground, ending the move!

But it’s a penalty to Newcastle for offside.

40′ Newcastle error, followed by Souths error, followed by Knights error

Dane Gagai loses the ball.

Then Latrell Mitchell loses the ball attempting an offload.

Then Bradman Best knocks the ball on in a tackle.

It’s an error-strewn end to the half.

37′ Forward pass!

Not great from Phoenix Crossland – he delivers a forward pass, clearly forward too, to a rampaging forward.

Souths will breath a sigh of relief.
